Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted anything in the past few days. Just as some news appeared, my internet box fried... Though, everything's up and running now, so let's get started.

The Playstation 3, according to PSXExtreme, will be out November 11th, 2006. More info on that here. Also, some info on the PS3's HDD can be found here, and other little details here.

Also, Multi Theft Auto R1.1 and 1.1.1 have been released. You can get more info on the new versions at www.mtasa.com, and of course the download page, here. Below is a list of R1.1's changes:

- New mappack
- New map nomination voting system
- Respawning during map
- Map timelimit added in map files and server config
- New player animation sync
- Admins can PM players from remote admin
- The 255 map limit has been fixed
- Fixed various admin stability issues
And that′s just a few of the changes we′ve made.

...and 1.1.1:

# Fixed: Freezes that occurred frequently for some users (and not at all for others)
# Fixed: Nothing would happen after the splash screen appeared for some users
# Fixed: All players getting kicked from a server with a "protocol error 92" message
# Fixed: Players getting stuck in "You will respawn in 1 second" mode, if a race starts before they join completely
# Fixed: Issue where error reporter would sometimes fail to find core dump
# Fixed: Occasional crash when connecting to a server through the server browser
# Fixes: Various other crashes
# Added: An error message is now displayed if you try to use the ′order checkpoints′ option in the map editor if you have no checkpoints in your map
# Added: DefaultMapDuration and DefaultRespawnTime to server config

Sorry about the wait though, and thanks to everyone who submitted the news to me. Hopefully more news soon!
